Well, got the PSU for This Ole Comp, my socket A for those that don't know, and it appears something is amiss with the EPoX MB. Everything fires up, fans HDD, spins constantly but, no video.
I put in the Shuttle An35N Ultra, which is supposed to be compatible to my 3200 Barton. Same result except the HDD light did not light up, it was spinning, and no video.
The EPox, is not compatible with the 3200+.
So, either both boards are done, or the 6800GT I got, is done.
If I manage to have any energy for more disassembly, I am going to put my 6600gt back in the shuttle board, which has a known good chip in it, a 2500+, and see if I can get anything on screen.
If that doesn't work...I may go back to the MSI KT880, original board, for a while.
That while depends on an Ebay auction I am in for an ASUS MB. If, and when, that comes, I will have a tested board to work with, that is 3200+ workable.
This Ole Comp will live on! As soon as I can figure the little effen-hiemer out!!
So, looks like 5 cores and 2 threads, for the challenge. Maybe, I can get the MAD Cruncher over here, soon, and get 2 more AMD Cores going. Oh, I forgot, I have that Amazon Server slowly rolling through WU's, also.
My current Crunching Farm.
So, 6C and 2HT, so far.
I'm gonna call my buddy, that has the MAD Cruncher. I would rather spend a little time on that, than take This Ole Comp apart, again!
) Let's see what happens!
It was 94°F here yesterday, and I don't want to get the AC out yet. I'm running my i3-3220T 24/7, and my i7's overnight.
